"Donald Trump and his team are currently working overtime to convince Americans that anyone who opposes his agenda represents a "radical left" full of "terrorists" who hate America, and for that matter, Christianity. The MAGA movement can't be happy that one of the world's oldest and most conservative institutions, the Roman Catholic Church, remains hostile to his mass-deportation program, his efforts to cut government assistance to poor people, and his militant opposition to climate-change initiatives."
"At an Oct. 1 Vatican summit, Leo condemned deniers of global warming and issued a blunt call to climate action. And last Sunday, in St. Peter's Square, he declared a new "missionary age" against the "coldness of indifference" to migrants. On Wednesday, he met privately with Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, a critic of the Trump administration's migrant crackdown, along with other U.S. pro-migrant activists, to receive letters and testimonies from those living in "fear" of detention and deportation in the United States."
Donald Trump and his allies are portraying political opponents as a "radical left" that allegedly includes "terrorists" who hate America and Christianity. The Roman Catholic Church remains opposed to Trump-aligned policies such as mass deportations, cuts to assistance for poor people, and resistance to climate initiatives. Pope Leo IV has comforted traditionalists through formal vestments while also signaling agreement with Francis on key moral issues. He condemned climate-change denial, called for climate action, declared a "missionary age" against indifference to migrants, and met with U.S. pro-migrant activists to receive testimonies from those living in fear of detention and deportation.
